Looking for a little advice on how to handle this situation I find myself in, also, I'm on mobile so sorry for bad formatting, I hope it's a good read at least. I'm really stuck in a hard spot for me. So I work in a small cocktail bar chain in the UK, in a very small and run down town, it's not the type of upperclass place you think when you hear cocktails, I'm not claming to be the best at my job or even great, but I'm great with talking to people and “guest obsessed” like the company always instructed me to be and up until recently i really enjoyed it, everything was fine, the company has some issues like underfunding us, like leaving the bar itself broken and warped and wallpaper peeling from the walls, but we made do, my manager and coworkers are wonderful people and…
I'm just curious, what would happen to employers who suddenly found themselves having to pay double for employees? if they are a business that sells a product or service, would they increase their prices to compensate? wouldn't that just mean the price of everything goes up and we're just back where we started? of course I don't mean this would happen overnight, a change that drastic to the minimum wage would likely be rolled out over years, but still. we all know that CEOs are going to make their millions one way or another, by firing employees or only hiring part timers, or increasing costs of services, cutting more costs elsewhere (or outsourcing wherever possible). maybe I'm just pessimistic, but I could see a bunch of negative side-effects of this. I'm hoping someone can show me how I'm wrong and that the positives would outweigh my perceived downsides.
Very long story short… I received a job offer that required me to leave family, leave my home, leave the country… I took it. The salary was just high enough to convince me to make the move (120k usd). Afrer two weeks in the job, I was called to join a meeting. I entered the room, sat down with the other directors in the company and the CEO who hired me. Not knowing what the meeting was about. In this meeting, I was accused of overexaggerating multiple things on my resume and even accused of lying on my resume. I did not lie. Every time I explained in detail why they were wrong with their accusations, they'd bring something new up (which was also wrong). I mentioned that I would be open to providing hard proof of everything they had suspicion about. They ended up providing me with two options,…
If only there was this much enthusiasm about worker's rights.
I actually have a job interview tomorrow morning, but don't even feel like going. Whatever job I get, it would be a decent jump in salary, from $55k to $70k, but it'd still be a 9 to 5. I've been looking at possible businesses I can start so I can work my own hours. Only thing I can think of is Home Inspector, it's what I'm interested in. I've just been researching different venues I could try.
So I’ve been thinking about the greedflation issue, aka, companies raising prices way past inflation to pull in exorbitant monopolistic profits. The simple solution here is this: If companies truly are raising prices beyond inflationary costs, then there is a huge market opportunity to create a competitor, undercut at a fairer price, and STILL make profit. The issue though, is that consumers, especially American consumers, are hyper loyal to brands, who actively seek to exploit them. Examples: Reddit YouTube Amazon (mega monopoly tho, idk who else you could use except direct) These examples are companies who it is very very difficult to make competitors for, because the user bases are very hard to sway to new platforms. (We still need competitors though, most don’t realize how much power places like YouTube have) However, in places like manufacturing, operations, and distribution, these are places where new competitors could see instant success,…
I have had this on my mind for at least decade. I am an American. I do not feel free. July 4th is supposed to celebrate our freedom from a monarch, free from control. I have not felt free for over more than a Decade. I can not do the things I want to do because of the mistreated economy. I can not get proper Health care within a reasonable bill cost. It costs less to buy a ticket to Europe, get surgery, and return back home, and still be under the total bill if I were to do the same in the United States. This should not even be possible. Almost every job in the U.S. does not pay enough to be comfortable for healthcare or even basic needs. It does not matter the state or job. Nothing is being done about it. No one is talking about it.…
